“It was a good way to start the pre-season but it would have been better in terms of intensity for those who paid their money if the grass had been kept.”
"I spoke to some officials and they did not want to listen. I told them if they kept the grass a bit shorter we would have had a better game but they did not want to hear it.”
Coach Nuttal will look to win a major trophy in the coming season as he placed third in the league and lost the FA Cup final to eternal rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
Frank Nuttal has been at the helm of affairs in Hearts of Oak since February 2017.
